Wealdham, the UK producer known for his progressive electronica sound, has recently released his new LP titled “Motorway” on the renowned Castles In Space label. Inspired by JG Ballard’s novel ‘Concrete Island’ and influenced by Kraftwerk’s iconic album ‘Autobahn,’ Motorway pays homage to Wealdham’s youth and childhood memories. The album’s title is derived from Wealdham’s treasured train set from his early years, which held a special place in his heart despite its slight imperfections.
Motorway captures the essence of momentum and fast-paced energy with its propulsive spirit. Tracks like ‘The North’ and ‘Bahnstorming’ feature a hefty chug that echoes the power of pistons and rods, evoking the image of sleek sports cars and cargo-carrying convoys in motion. Wealdham masterfully incorporates these elements into his progressive electronica compositions, resulting in a riveting sonic experience that leaves listeners enthralled.
For fans of similar artists like Kraftwerk, Motorway offers a refreshing take on the genre with its homage to the past while still pushing boundaries. Wealdham skillfully combines his love for electronic music and influences from literary works, creating a truly unique sound. With its release on the esteemed Castles In Space label, Motorway is set to captivate listeners and further solidify Wealdham’s place within the progressive electronica scene.
